    Lyrics
    I've got a really bad disease
    It's got me begging
    On my hands and knees
    Take me to the emergency
    'Cause something seems to be missing
    Somebody take the pain away
    It's like an ulcer bleeding in my brain
    Send me to the pharmacy
    So I can lose my memory
    I'm elated
    Medicated
    Lord knows I tried to find a way to run away.

    I think they found another cure
    For broken hearts and feeling insecure
    You'd be surprised what I endure
    What make you feel so self-assured?

    I need to find a place to hide
    You never know what could be
    Waiting outside
    The accidents that you could find
    It's like some kind of suicide

    So what ails you is what impales you
    I feel like I've been crucified to be satisfied

    I'm a victim of my symptom
    I am my own worst enemy
    You're a victim of your symptom
    You are your own worst enemy
    Know your enemy

    I'm elated
    Medicated
    I am my own worst enemy
    So what ails you is what impales you
    You are your own worst enemy
    You're a victim of the system
    You are your own worst enemy
    You're a victim of the system
    You are your own worst enemy
